Is there any singer / musician as PRECISELY (Not overrated, or underrated) rated as Freddie Mercury?
Name one. I'll wait.
Is there any singer / musician as PRECISELY (Not overrated, or underrated) rated as Freddie Mercury?

maybe brian wilson
Nicholas Brown
I'll answer in a bit. I'm listening to Degausser by Brand New right now.
Lucas Stewart
Okay, here goes. As I said before, Brendon Urie is the only modern singer that has even a shred of talent. Strong mixed voice and no strain while hitting high notes, and has an excellent vocal range as well. And plus, he manages to perfectly convey the emotions in his songs without sounding pretentious.

Landon Brooks
Michael jackson
Zachary Turner
Trent Reznor
Eli Anderson
Considering he's more revered than Rob Halford who has fucking amazing range, yeah, nah. Freddie ain't shit.
Kayden Gutierrez
Obligatory post
Kayden Bailey
>muh range
How about you listen for tonal quality and timbre instead bitch
Noah White
>Went to go see Priest during the Redeemer tour in 2014
>Little to no confidence in how Halford's vocals would hold up
>Mfw he was still piercing during the end of Victim of Changes
Benjamin Taylor

Not quantifiable. Halford is objectively 1000% better and, if we're going down that route, I find him much more distinctive and expressionate.

Here's the thing about Freddie. The man had some serious pipes. He had a 4 octave range and he excelled in any octave. He wrote brilliant songs. And his stage presence was only matched by Adolf Hitler. Seriously, watch them play Radio Gaga at Live Aid and then watch a video of the Nuremburg rallies. We had better thank our lucky stars Freddie didn't go into politics or he would have taken over the world. But Queen as a whole had a brilliant dynamic. It wasn't just the Freddie Mercury backup band. They all made huge creative contributions to what made Queen what it is. Yes, Freddie wrore Somebody to Love, Killer Queen, and Bohemian Rhapsody, but Brian May wrote We Will Rock You, Save Me, and Fat Bottom Girls, John Deacon wrote I Want to Break Free, Another One Bites the Dust, and You're my Best Friend, and Roger Taylor wrote Radio Gaga and It's a Kind of Magic. Other bands like Nirvana for instance were not like that. Nirvana was basically just the Kurt Cobain backup band. Queen was this perfect storm of legendary talent, and Freddie was the face of it all, the delicious cherry on top of an already delicious sundae. He was the ambassador that allowed the amazing talent of combo that was Queen to be brought into our lives. He was the prism that focused the lazer beams from the brains of Roger, Brian, and John, and amplified them until they were powerful enough to blow our minds out through our ear holes. Yes, he was the most incredible front man who ever lived, hands down.

This looks like pasta, but it looks like delicious pasta.
Rob Halford is great too. On this basis, you believe Freddie is overrated because Rob is underrated?
That's kinda weird logic.
Tyler Campbell
>That's kinda weird logic.
It's very simple logic. if A > B but B is valued higher by everyone, clearly something's wrong.
Jordan Campbell
Maybe. By this, do you think if Freddie never became famous, Rob would get the recognition he deserved? I suspect it's something else, but I'm just trying to understand the reasoning here.
Nicholas Garcia
this is a good answer
this is not a good answer
Bentley Gutierrez
Bruce Dickinson destroys Rob Halford in every way.
Luis Edwards
This is some OG shit haven't seen this pasta for a while.
Oliver Kelly
As someone who grew up on Iron Maiden and who is totally gar for Bruce, I'm doubtful. He isn't as versatile and has aged nowhere near as well.
His songwriting is absolutely great though. Accident of Birth - Chemical Wedding - Tyranny of Souls is an absolutely spectacular three album run that is arguably better than any 3 album run by Maiden. Man's a legend.
Christian Cooper
Most people have no idea who Brian is
Lincoln Russell

Extra Parmesan on mine please
Camden Rivera
Dickinson is just a low budget Ian Gillan who kept his voice in better shape.
Thomas Thompson
>PRECISELY
don't you mean accurately?
Grayson Kelly
Nah, Rob earned his recognition independently. It's more that recognition and ability are not so linked that better is automatically more popular.
Angel Bailey
Sure. Accurately then.
Well put, thanks for taking the time to explain. I love them both for different reasons.
